Week 7

We're in week 7 of our curriculum. We took off the past two weeks for spring break and are ready to get back into our groove. Today we started with yoga, which Ethan did so well with me. Avery went upstairs and laid down. Then we drew pictures of our Texas trip and wrote a thank you note to Gramma Ruth and Grandpa Nathan. The kids loved the beach and Ruth and Nathan's house. We also drew a big picture of what we loved about TX, mostly the beach with big waves. We used tangrams to create a beach scene, which Ethan just made some sort of battle landscape out of and Avery used the tangrams layouts. No free form efforts from them today. We then did our muzzy language program and learned about tengo (I have), un mapa (a map), un bolsa (a bag), and una hamburgesa (a hamburger). Then we finished with reading a story from the curriculum which we'll draw tomorrow when we practice writing the letter M. This afternoon we might go into Brainerd or we'll paint.
